Great Days are Ahead

Happy New Year Everyone! 2011 is going to be an amazing year!

Debbie and I are both so excited about what the Lord is going to do with Shoes on the Move in 2011. There is great momentum with the launch of Grand View Church and the vision for SOTM is ever increasing. We believe this is going to be a wonderful year of growth and fulfillment for each one of YOU and for all the women God will bring into our group.

There is no limit to the possibilities that 2011 will bring to you. Jesus said that ALL things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23). Let's get our vision and expectation out beyond our strength and abilities to trust God to do in our lives what seems today like an impossibility. When we put our hope, faith and trust in the Lord, He will not disappoint us. In fact, Ephesians 3:20 assures us that God is able to do exceedingly above and beyond what we can ask, think, dream, or imagine according to the power that works in us. The power in us is limitless; it's Holy Spirit power. This will be a year of empowerment!

T. S. Eliot said something interesting, he said, "For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.” The voice this year's word is waiting on is yours. Job 22:28 says "you shall declare a thing and it will be established for you so that light will shine on your path." God is waiting on you to give voice to the thoughts or words of your heart; the desires and dreams that God Himself has placed within you.

God is waiting on us to give Him something to work with. He wants to release His power in our lives through the Holy Spirit, but we must believe. We must have faith and expect God to move. We must make declaration as to what we desire and believe God to do in every situation.

Check out this amazing video of a little boy from The Potter's House in Dallas Texas.

Now that is amazing... and he made everyone of those declarations right out of his heart. Lord I pray that we are all like this little boy in 2011 and beyond. I pray we, the Church, will rise up full of light and power to apprehend ALL that God has planned for us! Amen!

Debbie and I are excited to see you again and to hear all that is in your heart. We believe in your gifts and callings and we stand in faith with you expecting to see it brought to completion.

We love you and hope to see you on Saturday, January 22 at 11am at Grand View Church for our first meeting of 2011. See the sidebar for directions to Grand View Church, if you haven't been already. If you haven't attended a service yet, make plans to... the Holy Spirit is moving and we all are being encouraged and strengthened by the Word.

Debbie and I count it a joy to serve in the kingdom of God with you. We are here for you and stand the ready to pray, impart, and watch over your lives.
